Thurmont Senior Center – May 2026 Highlights
By Tara Miller
Spring is in full swing at the Thurmont Senior Center, and May is packed with activities, events,
and opportunities to connect, stay active, and have fun!
We continue to offer a wide variety of weekly favorites, including Zumba Gold, Strength &
Balance classes, Chair Yoga, cards and games, and creative gatherings like Craftin’ in the
Catoctins and Stitch & Chat. Our popular 50/50 Bingo returns twice this month, always bringing
excitement and friendly competition.
Be sure to mark your calendar for some special highlights! On May 7, join us for our Fundraiser
Night and Bake Sale at Roy Rogers—a great way to support the center while enjoying a delicious
meal. Mid-month, we’ll celebrate our Monthly Birthday Party on May 15, complete with treats
and good company.
One event we’re especially excited about is our Scrabble Tournament on Wednesday, May 27 at
12:30 p.m. Whether you’re a seasoned wordsmith or just enjoy a friendly game, this promises
to be a fun and engaging afternoon. Come test your vocabulary skills and enjoy some
lighthearted competition!
We’re also offering a variety of informative and enriching presentations this month, including a
Bible 101 overview on May 19th, and a Register of Wills Presentation on May 22nd .
Did you know that the Thurmont Senior Center facility is available for rent? Our welcoming
space is perfect for meetings, gatherings, and special events. Contact us for more information
about availability and rates.
In addition, we are always looking for caring volunteers to help deliver meals to homebound
seniors within a 6-mile radius of the center. This simple act of kindness takes just about an hour
of your week but makes a meaningful difference in someone’s life.
The Thurmont Senior Center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with
lunch served daily at noon. If you’re 55 or better, we invite you to stop by, get involved, and see
all that we have to offer.
For more information, please call 301-271-7911 or visit us on Facebook. We look forward to
seeing you soon!
